I guess not everyone out there is using illegal download services, contrary to what the recording industry might have you think. Weekly sales between December 22nd and December 28th approached fifty million for the first time in history. The final figure, currently estimated at just under forty eight million, represented a surge of one hundred and twenty-six percent from the week previous.
According to Billboard, Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” gyrated off all competition, leading the way with over four hundred thousand individual downloads. Why is it always bizarre pop or novelty rap which dominates these things? It seems like only yesterday I was writing a story on Soulja Boy becoming the first song to be downloaded three million times. Wow, upon further review, that article was written almost a year ago. That poor son of a bitch is in for a long fall.
Expect for these staggering figures to fall quite a bit next week as people stop redeeming gift cards and get a little less excited about their new Zunes.
